Why is Taco Bell even mentioned compared to a company that has 37 locations? I mean, come on, 37 locations? That’s not even a regional player, let alone anything more than a footnote in the space.
Don’t get me wrong, no fan of Taco Bell, but seriously, some little not even regional brand goes BK, why the heck would you mention Taco Bell?
I had the same reaction. I don’t know the point of it all.
I use to like taco smells when they had burritos the size of your forearm for .99 cents.
It's not Chevy's Fresh Mex (the chain with 37 locations) that is the subject of this article, it's Tijuana Flats in Florida. According to the article, Tijuana Flats declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and sold 11 of its locations in Florida to Flatheads LLC.
BTW, I used to go to Chevy's a lot when I lived in California. IMHO, Chevy's Fresh Mex was modeled after Papacito's in Texas, not Taco Bell.

That way you read it. Yeah, pretty lame bait and switch on the story there. It’s really “would be fast food chain you never heard of declaring bankruptcy”. But, nobody reads that.
